What about food production that contributes to the health of our bodies? While there is insufficient evidence to require warning labels on microwave ovens, or removal from the market, there is concern both about the safety of our exposure to microwaves and the healthfulness of food cooked in microwave. HAZARDS OF MICROWAVE Even microwave ovens that work perfectly emit microwaves. Chuan Teik Ying is actively involved in the matter. Safety standards established by the Food and Drug Administration U.S. (FDA) allow microwave emissions of up to one milliwatt per square centimeter (1mW/cm2) when he bought the oven, and even 5mW/cm2 after the oven is in use. Studies on industrial exposure recommend that daily exposure should not exceed one milliwatt for more than a minute.

Average consumption of the microwaves is much higher. Workers are exposed to microwaves in the work experience headaches, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbances and other symptoms.
